CHICAGO, July 13/PRNewswire/ -- There is inherently a certain amount of tension between
Innovation and Six Sigma. This is ostensibly due to the 'all-knowing' Six
Sigma versus the 'highly uncertain' Innovation. But if this is the case, how
have 3M reached success? Have they reached success?

The question we have all been asking is "Can Six Sigma and
Innovation co-exist in an organization?"

IQPC's Process for Innovation event (21st & 22nd August, 2007
- Chicago) tackles this question and offers what has until now been thought
of as near impossible - a structure for Innovation. This exclusive forum has
been designed for leading Six Sigma and Innovation experts to discuss the
practicalities of implementing Innovation across an organization alongside
Six Sigma.

The industry has been screaming out for ways to marry these
two seemingly unmatched approaches and it is finally being delivered in full.
So which leaders of Innovation will be speaking?

NOKIA, one of the world's TOP 10 most innovative companies outline how to
combine Voice Of the Customer (VOC) and Innovation.

Another TOP 10 company, PROCTOR & GAMBLE, detail how they have extended
product life span by fostering a clear balance between creativity and
discipline among their teams right across their organization.

Anthony Carter, MOTOROLA's Senior Director of Business Development, has
personally faced the challenge of selling Innovation to management and has
successfully embedded Innovation into Motorola's business strategy. Anthony
will be divulging how he was able to gain complete management buy-in.

DAIMLER CHRYSLER's Harry Flotemersch chairs the Management Think Tank,
providing top level decision makers with a networking forum to discuss what
challenges your peers face, what methods have proved to work, and vitally
what you need to facilitate the move to Innovation.

Some have said Six Sigma impacts the bottom line while
innovation grows the top line, but is this really the case? Process for
Innovation reveals what process can be applied to the act of innovating.
Don't you want to find out for yourself what works?

Process for Innovation, 2007, analyzes structured approaches
to encourage creative thought, new ideas and innovative thinking. 'The
Roadmap to Innovation' focus day is an entire day dedicated to providing you
with your very own action plan to get Innovation thriving in your business.
